Nirbhaya case: Judges voice anguish over depravity of act

Written By Unknown on Jumat, 14 Maret 2014 | 22.10

NEW DELHI: A bench of two women judges decided the fate of Nirbhaya's rapists-cum-murderers on Thursday, giving voice to the anguish they felt over the ordeal suffered by a woman. Observing that the offence had earned Delhi the title of " rape capital", the 340-page verdict shows they were left aghast at the bestiality a young woman had to endure.

Preferring to address her by the name TOI coined—Nirbhaya—the judges paid her rich tributes. So moved was the court by the horrific case that one of the judges, Justice Pratibha Rani, gave vent to her feelings through an Urdu couplet and poignant lines from a Hindi poem 'Kamayani'.

"The medical evidence charters the hellish misery and trauma inflicted upon the victim before her death," Justice Khetrapal wrote even as Justice Rani lamented that the victims had reposed complete confidence in the occupants of the contract bus while boarding it to reach their destination but this was "misused".

The judgment is peppered with references to Nirbhaya's trauma, which the court said left an "indelible scar on the social order" and became a burning societal issue which crossed national borders. Justice Rani said perhaps the convicts were familiar with the insensitive attitude of this metro city which also finds reflection in the couplet, "Lagta hai sheher mein aaye ho naye, Ruk gaye ho raah, hadsa dekh kar."

The court also commented on the wave of protests the crime generated across the country, observing how "from common man to people in power, (they) had only one demand... justice for the victim who succumbed to the injuries suffered at the hands of the convicts due to their barbaric act."

Any leniency shown in the matter would not only be misplaced but would give rise to a feeling of private revenge among the people leading to lawlessness in the society, it concluded.
